Most new infant car seats do not attach to shopping carts anymore for safety reasons. It was found out that even with the cart attachments on the seat, it was unsafe for baby. (Also, some shorter parents can't see over the top!) So, no. The Graco SafeSeat does not attach to shopping carts.A great way to carry your baby around in the store is with a baby carrier or sling (like Baby Bjorn, Hotslings, Moby Slings, Evenflo Infant Carrier, etc.) It lets you use both hands and gives you plenty of room for groceries in the cart.Good Luck!

Well this is the way I look at it. I have big babies (over 9lbs at birth) and my first two grew out of there other infant seats at 3-4 months old. Still being too little to sit in the cart on there own but to big for the infant seat. So to me any negatives that there might be of this seat are far outweighed by the fact that I don't have to worry about my soon to be new baby outgrowing the seat so fast.

no, this seat does not fit in the child basket area of most shopping carts... theoretically, the smaller snugRide seats do HOWEVER, I would like to mention that many consider the practice of placing infant carriers on top of the cart unsafeit does fit IN most carts though (put foot end under child basket, and there will be room for groceries behind/under the head end as well as in the child basket... I found this to be the best arrangement for the maximum grocery capacity), or if running in for a few items just take it in your stroller (I LOVE the mosaic stroller)

My daughter was to long for her seat at four months and we had to get a convertible seat that stays in the car. at six months she still isn't sitting on her own so we just use the cart the have the built in babyseat and that works just fine.

It would make a really tight fit for the baby if you tried to put it on a high chair. It is wonderful for a shopping cart though. The big puffy sides keep the baby from swaying back and forth or falling over onto the side of the cart if he/she can't sit up good yet. Now my son is 15 months and can sit up but we still use it to keep him from biting on the handle of the cart where other people have touched it. It also has two velcro tabs to keep his toys from falling on the ground. Shopping cart, YES - Highchair, NOT REALLY.

No, the infant seat is not meant to fit on the top of a shopping cart. Look at your owner's manual and you'll probably find that it specifically says to NOT do it as do the warning pictures in the carts themselves. Put them in the basket if you must keep them in the car seat.

I don't know. I believe that Graco has a warning about risks involved putting the seat on a shopping cart.

It doesn't, because car seats are not supposed to go on a shopping cart. It's extremely dangerous. And clearly advised against it by most car seat makers in the instruction manual. Most stores have built in seats on carts for that purpose.

Very easy to put on, it fits walmart carts perfect. Some carts are small, but it serves it's purpose regardless. It has elastic, so it fits around any cart, it's not a tight fit though, the picture shows a cart made for this cover or something..the insert is pretty handy if you have a wobbly baby, but I ended up not needing it. It folds in on itself to make a handy little pouch to carry/store etc. I like it, used it a ton, recommend it. Hope this helps.

It's one of those things where you could definitely find something similar to this for less money as it's a "luxury" item, not a necessity item. I used to stuff blankets around my babies when they were little and it worked just fine for me. I actually bought this for our first grandchild who, like us, lives in Arizona where hot shopping carts are not uncommon. I decided on this one because upon reading other reviewers, this one is over sized, it will fit Costco carts as well as other oddly shaped shopping carts & restaurant high chairs. It's well built, could be put on with one hand while the other held the child, it was cushy for comfort and to help prevent thumps & bumps when they're little. Would I spend the money and buy it again if I had a chance to go back...prolly not unless it was offered at half price.

Another review says it will break, I did not have this issue. I had a 30 pound child in the seat and dragged this item around for several days. I also loaded it with several baby bags a heavy computer bag, all of the car seat strapped to the cart. Could it break? Anything can, but this product has been on several trips now, taking serious abuse with no issues. We do not ever check it or leave it on seat during flight. Yes this will work, but as per my other answers and comments, the base of the car seat will not rest fully on the base of the cart. The cart base is not meant to be as large as the seat base. Strap it on securely and it should work just fine. Another review says it will break, I did not have this issue. I had a 30 pound child in the seat and dragged this item around for several days.

Hi! There is still room for a toddler or child when the infant seats are still in place. I had twin babies when my son was almost two. This was the only stroller I could find at the time (6 years ago), that would work for us. It is a dream to push when empty, but it is VERY hard to push and turn with babies on board. I quit using it when the babies were 12 months old. I hated this stroller, but didn't have much choice....

I was just wondering if you ever compared them after this post? We are considering both vehicles too for our 2 children, one who is big for his age as well. We plan to try and see them at the store together (if possible) but I found your post and wondered what your result was? Thanks

Yes...there is a separate belt that secures the cover to the shopping cart..then there is another/strap that buckles the child inside the cart cover. This item is very well made and makes shopping fun again...yes the price point is high but it is worth every penny.

Baby Bjorn doesn't make this version of the travel crib anymore. Go to their website and you can see that the new version has mesh extending all the way to the bottom, which seems safer. That is the one we bought for our baby. I wouldn't feel comfortable with a small, active baby in this crib even if the company claims the sides are breathable.

I had one of these when I was about 10 (12 years ago) and it really looks like nothing has changed. What happens is that you get a few packets of food powder with the doll. You mix them with water and feed them to her. The food then goes through a tube from her mouth to her bottom. It ends up in the diaper (assuming the diaper is on). So every time you use a food packet, you have to change the diaper. I guess you could use preemie diapers for the doll, but they're probably just as expensive as the diapers you'd buy for the doll at the toy store.

I don't remember that particular car seat being on the list that my Baby Trend Snap N Go used but it did fit the majority of the car seats out there. An idea for you, if you have a Babies R Us or Burlington Coat Factory nearby is to bring in your infant seat to try with the stroller before you purchase. And then once you have your answer you can purchase the stroller from any retailer you prefer. Hope that helps!Melissa

That is correct. By the way, since you will need to buy a potty seat, I bought and used the baby bjorn potty seat for the bathroom that my son used exclusively (with the potty stool). However, I have one made by Kohler in the guest bathroom that has a normal size seat and a baby seat (you just flip it up or down for the correct seat). It was easy to install and pretty inexpensive. Guests love it because it makes it very easy for the little ones to use the guest bathroom too. I would use that instead of a baby bjorn that you would have to take off and one if adults and the child are sharing a bathroom. That is correct.

I have a 30 lb 2 year old that fits well, but it is a very upright seat and he seems to be sliding down a lot. Basically it doesn't seem very comfortable for him. Plus there is no shade. Another problem is that it puts all of the weight on the front tires and it becomes pretty difficult to steer. Honestly, I would get the City Select tandem with the stand on thing in the back. The Valco baby seats and storage just feel cheap. I had a 16 month old when I had twins and this stroller seemed to be the best solution, but I'm sorry I chose this one. I really wish I had gotten the tandem city select. It moves better, has the roller board thing for the older one, and the babies would be comfortable.

Unfortunately, It doesn't fit as well as the smaller seats. It will sit on the seat but doesn't securely click in. I don't think it would fall out but I hold it as we go anyway! Some carts, I set it in sideways in the front seat. Others I put it right in the back of the cart, which isn't convenient for groceries or larger trips. This would NOT stop me from buying the exact seat again. I keep my babies in these seats for a full yr so the extra room is nice.
